Evaluating ATI: The ATI Initiative
2 Phases; currently beginning of 2nd 1st phase: Annotating recently published articles Collaborated closely with Cambridge University Press to test technology, workflows, and solicit articles Projects available at qdr.org/ati/ati-models 2nd phase: Annotating during writing process Every paper paired with reviewer, pre- and post review Authors keep logbook & fill out survey Very preliminary results
13
Evaluating ATI Average time spent per project: ~20hs
14
Evaluating ATI Relatively poor match between reviewer expectation and annotations Widely differing number of annotations (6-80/article) Widely differing usage of annotations, some disagreement Concern about incentives Interest in clearer typology of annotations Existing work on annotation/citation ontologies
15
ATI Challenge 2nd Phase of pilots
Solicited proposals for (paid) annotation & workshop 80 submissions across disciplines & continents, though skewed towards political science Selected 19 projects, workshop in November 2018 Will follow articles through peer-review
